A bit more about the theme of the day

Most of you may be familiar with RStudio, but most likely not so many of you know an RStudio feature which is called Addin. Addins are a way of interactively executing R functions from RStudio user interface, either through keyboard shortcuts, or through an interactive menu. In other words, you have a way to call a function, that you often use, with a simple shortcut; more than this, you can interact with RStudio itself, e.g. with the cursor position, the file content etc, to the extent of building addins as local shiny gadgets!

During this first R-Lab we are going to introduce the Addins and how they work.Then we’ll try to address some open problems building ad hoc Addins, working together in small groups.

Everything we build will be collected on Github and made available for everybody.

Admission is free!
